Jews of Iran playing with Oriental
"Jews of Iran":In light of the Iranian government's relentless hostility toward Israel and its proxy war, through Hezbollah against the Jewish state, this well-directed and tightly-edited film now has an especially foreboding nature. The movie portrays the lives of Iran's remaining Jews. They acknowledge the existence of discrimination, go out of their way to portray their devotion to Iran and, perhaps understandably, avoid criticizing its government. This is an inside look at an otherwise hidden but previously vibrant culture.  

"Oriental": The cultural differences between Israelis and Arabs must be factored into virtually every discussion, at every level. To emphasize this point, the film cross-cuts the interaction of a Jewish Israeli belly dancer and the Israeli Arab musical group with which she is performing, with interviews with high-profile Palestinian and Israeli participants in the Camp David negotiations. You will hear the inside story on why those discussions ultimately failed.
